google with “CARABAO MANGO DRIED”and you will hit our new website. I am eagerly waiting next week for Mindanao’s carabao dried mangoes from Amleyfood. First time in Iceland this variety of mangos is imported and also first time they are imported dried. Saves a lot on shipping specially coming from so far away. It takes 55 days approx and they left the philippines at the end of June.
Fresh mangos can be very dissapointing here because they are refrigerated during shipping.The best fruit to buy because the labour is minimal for harvesting compared to blueberries.

I’m really partial to Guimaras mangoes maybe because my grandfather has a small orchard there. As compared to mangoes in mainland Iloilo like from Leon (which also claims to have the sweetest mangoes), Guimaras mangoes are super-sweet and boldly textured.

I’ll never forget those several pieces of mangoes from a solitary tree growing near my lolo’s nipa hut. The tree was made to flower the natural way–only with smoke coming from the grasspile. It’s the sweetest of all.

Unfortunately, Guimaras mangoes ripen so quickly, especially if they cross the strait to Iloilo. My mouth can only savor so much.

Back then i never really pay attention to what kind of mangoes my mom buys, I guess as a kid, to my taste buds they all taste the same as long as its sweet im all good. But thank you to marketmanila.com for educating me about diff mangoes coming from diff regions of the phils. Maybe next time i come back home, i’ll be able to distinguish what kind of magoes im eating! :)

I agree on Cebu mangoes being the tastiest. I know North Americans are trying to find 7D dried mango from Cebu. A friend has started importing these amazing dried mangoes into North America in large quantities but they are still hard to get. Find them here at our site…

I love Cebu’s mangoes!!! I go there every school breakand always, always request for mangoes! it’s cheap too, hence I always bring baskets of it back to manila.

I found the mindanao mangoes to be very fibrous,while the luzon ones pretty bland. I think Cebu’s mangoes have the right “balance” of factors. Mexican mangoes, I dont like them at all- like tasteless raw mangoes (the ones you eat with bagong)

My friends in singapore told me Singaporeans prefer philippine mangoes,especially the kids.

i agree that the guimaras s the best variety of r national fruit..however, i havent tasted the dried mangoes of guimaras… the dried mangoes of cebu s still unbeatable..infact, ive sent 200 grams of the 7D brand of dried mangoes to my sweetheart in turkey..m still awaiting for his comment…the central luzon mangoes from zambales & pangasinan r also yummy but ur correct again about their color, they r orangery…
